?Chapter 728: Chapter 322: The Reappearance of Li Mingwu (2) Chapter 728: Chapter 322: The Reappearance of Li Mingwu (2) Especially in the past year, the amount of catches by the black-robed elder was less than five.
And this time, it was a complete waste of effort, as not even a single Jade Soul Algae was seen.
No wonder the black-robed elder’s complexion had turned so dark; anyone encountering such a situation would likely not remain calm.
If Changyun Yuanlei had seen the black-robed elder’s expression, he probably would have felt extremely pleased.
There was no helping it, since that old man liked to trick people.
Now, ironically, the tricked one had become himself.
…
…
Soon.
More than half a month passed by.
On this day, the sea surface once again rippled, and as the waves grew bigger, a figure emerged from the ocean depths.
It was Lin Jing, who had just finished catching Jade Soul Algae.
Upon surfacing, Lin Jing stored the now emerald green Jade Soul Algae and then flew into the air, circulating his Spiritual Power to dry the seawater off his body.
After drying off, Lin Jing looked in the direction of the fog wall.
He was ready to leave.
In this period, Lin Jing had caught three more pieces of Jade Soul Algae.
With these three, Lin Jing now had exactly one hundred and fifty pieces, and with that amount, he no longer intended to continue catching them.
The Jade Soul Algae here had been almost completely harvested by him.
What remained was scarcely worth mentioning.
To try catching more would be time-consuming and laborious, and he predicted that not many pieces could be obtained.
Furthermore,
The more than one hundred pieces of Jade Soul Algae were enough for Lin Jing to use.
Lin Jing had originally caught more, but a portion of them had already been used by him.
After practicing the Spirit Division Technique, Lin Jing’s Soul Spirit strength had been split in two, becoming weakened once again.
Therefore,
Lin Jing alternated between catching Jade Soul Algae and using them, significantly increasing the strength of his Soul Spirit.
Now, Lin Jing’s Soul Spirit, even when divided, was already on par with the Nascent Soul Peak.
When combined, it exceeded the Nascent Soul Peak.
It could be said that with Lin Jing’s current Soul Spirit strength, if he were to encounter that Evil Soul again, he alone could destroy it.
Also, within the Water Element Realm, the distance Lin Jing’s Divine Sense could probe had increased from the initial one hundred meters to three hundred meters.
That was three times more than before.
These improvements showed just how significantly the Jade Soul Algae had enhanced Lin Jing’s Soul Spirit.
Although one could strengthen their Soul Spirit by consuming Jade Soul Algae, there seemed to be a limit to its usage.
Recently, Lin Jing felt that the effects gained from consuming Jade Soul Algae were diminishing.
This was another reason Lin Jing decided to leave.
After deciding to depart, Lin Jing arrived at the fog wall and then entered the System Space.
Upon entering the System Space, Lin Jing hesitated no further and activated the Fixed-Point Teleportation Function.
“Ding!”
“System notification: Host uses Fixed Point Teleportation, deducting one Harvest Point.
Current Harvest Points remaining: 72103 Harvest Points.”
As the system notification sounded, Lin Jing was teleported away.
After being teleported, Lin Jing directly summoned his Flying Boat and steered it towards Lost Soul Island.
There was still a considerable distance from here to Lost Soul Island.
Even with Lin Jing’s speed on the Flying Boat, it would take about a day to reach Lost Soul Island.
Fortunately, the Shadow Escape Flying Boat was not only fast but also virtually silent during flight, which helped avoid attracting the attention of Sea Beasts.
…
Having left the area where the Soul Tomb was located, Lin Jing hastened his journey back to Lost Soul Island.
In this Northern Marine Domain, due to the dangers present,
very few Cultivators would venture here.
Aside from needing to be cautious about the grey mist, there weren’t many other concerns.
Lin Jing originally thought that his journey this time would be smooth sailing.
Thus,
he picked up the pace to quickly reach Lost Soul Island.
Unexpectedly, during his flight, a strong surge of Spell fluctuations came from the white mist ahead.
These Spell fluctuations were intense, indicating a battle was happening.
Even enclosed in his Flying Boat, Lin Jing could clearly feel them.
Given the intensity of the Spell fluctuations from ahead, the other party’s Cultivation was probably not inferior to Lin Jing’s own.
Thereafter.
Lin Jing immediately became alert and quickly controlled the Flying Boat to stop.
In these Five Elements Ruins, Divine Senses are suppressed to an extreme degree, even cultivators’ Divine Senses are extremely stifled.
Judging from the magical fluctuations coming from ahead, the people in conflict were still some distance away from him.
The Shadow Escape Flying Boat made very little noise when traveling, so it was likely they hadn’t noticed him.
Without any delay, Lin Jing then stowed away the Flying Boat and then entered the System Space.
Given the uncertainty of the situation ahead, it was naturally prudent to investigate first.
Following that,
within the System Space, Lin Jing activated Observation Mode and probed toward what was ahead.
As his viewpoint moved through layers of fog, Lin Jing soon saw two figures in the distance.
As it turned out by coincidence,
these two were precisely the Yan Family Patriarch and Bai Yi.
At that moment, the Yan Family Patriarch wore a cold expression as he looked coolly at Bai Yi.
Whereas Bai Yi looked pale, with his aura also seeming unstable.
Bai Yi frowned deeply, looked at the Yan Family Patriarch, and then spoke,
“Yan Yujiang…”
“Regarding the previous incident, it was an emergency, and I had no choice.
Indeed, I did wrong by you.”
“But you have been chasing me for quite some time, what exactly will it take for you to let me go?”
The Yan Family Patriarch looked at Bai Yi and snorted coldly,
“Hmph!”
“If you want me to spare you, then first hand over that Five Elements Earth Command you have on you.”
“As long as you give up the Five Elements Earth Command, I will let bygones be bygones and spare your life.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s face immediately darkened,
“Impossible!”
He rebutted straightaway,
“Without the Five Elements Earth Command, I can never leave this place for the rest of my life.
You are sentencing me to death.”
The Yan Family Patriarch then spoke in a cold voice,
“To spare your life is already an act of mercy on my part.
If you refuse to hand it over, then I’ll have to take it from you personally.”
“Do you really think, with your strength, you can escape from my clutches?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s expression became even more gloomy, and then he spoke in a deep voice,
“Yan Yujiang, I admit that I am indeed no match for you.”
“But if you truly insist on pushing me to a corner, then I will have no choice but to fight to the death with you.”
The Yan Family Patriarch remained expressionless upon hearing this.
But on his body, countless streams of cyan-colored aura had already started to circulate, clearly ready for battle at any moment.
Seeing the Yan Family Patriarch like this, Bai Yi also mobilized the spiritual power within his body, ready to respond at any time, while simultaneously saying,
“I had heard before that Yan Yujiang was magnanimous and often conducted himself with all the grace of a gentleman.
It seems now those claims were unfounded.”
The Yan Family Patriarch snorted coldly and said,
“Humph!”
“I, Yan Yujiang, am most generous to my friends, but from the moment you betrayed me, we have been enemies.”
“As for you, Bai Yi…”
“I had also heard that you were an honorable and well-known figure, known by everyone as a righteous man.
Now it seems, your righteousness is nothing but an empty reputation.”
As the words of the Yan Family Patriarch fell, Bai Yi wanted to argue back, opened his mouth, but ended up saying nothing.
Although Bai Yi did not respond, another voice came at this time:
“Yan Daoist friend, you have misunderstood him.
?????.??
Bai Yi was truly a righteous man before.”
Hearing this voice made Lin Jing involuntarily startle.
Because the speaker was none other than Li Mingwu.
Unexpectedly, he had appeared here.
As the sound of his voice faded, two figures then emerged from within the white fog.
One was hunched over, with a withered complexion.
The other was dressed like a Taoist.
These two were Li Mingwu and Long Daoist.
As the two emerged from the fog, the Yan Family Patriarch and Bai Yi both instantly became guarded.
However, Li Mingwu seemed unconcerned and spoke directly to the Yan Family Patriarch,
“Yan Daoist friend, you really have misunderstood this Bai Yi.”
“To tell the truth, Bai Yi indeed is a man of integrity.”
“Otherwise, after my disappearance, with the support of a host of good friends, he would not have been able to seize Yue Tian Island with lightning speed.”
